The scenic value of Crystal Spring SNA is matched only by the high quality of the native plant communities that inhabit the 38-acre site. Impressive steep cliffs line a winding seasonal cold-water stream. Outstanding old forests carpet the rugged terrain. A few rare species occur here too. And unfortunately, invasive buckthorn is also found in the upland forests. Back to Top

Leonard Wojtowicz Skating Park - 14727 209th Street North
The Leonard Wojtowicz Skating Park has a lighted hockey rink for winter use with a smaller area for recreational skating. Both are flooded each year as soon as weather permits. Open skating is the norm, but the Rink Calendar will identify reserved hours and well-publicized community events. The warming house is open during the skating season. As the seasons change, the Public Works department installs skateboard ramps and rails on the large oval rink. The warming house is equipped with a water bottle filling station and the Bike Fix It station is set up to support area bicycling enthusiasts. Back to Top
